Parameter Description CLASS=classname Specifies the class of the tag being defined. This is used to associate a sub-classed style sheet with the tag. DEFER Indicates the script block contains only functions and no in-line script. Deferring the parsing of scripts until they are needed can improve performance by decreasing the time it takes to load a document. EVENT=eventname Specifies the event the script is being written for. FOR=element Specifies which element is being bound to the event script. A scripting object or element ID can be specified as the element value. ID=value An SGML identifier used as the target for hypertext links or for naming particular elements in associated style sheets. Valid ID values must begin with a letter. The underbar character, "_", may be used in the ID name. The ID should be unique throughout the scope of the document. If more than one object with the same identifier exists in a document, a collection of those named items is created that can only be referenced by ordinal position. LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT | JSCRIPT | VBS | VBSCRIPT Specifies the language the current script is written in and invokes the proper scripting engine. The default value is JAVASCRIPT. This attribute overrides any TYPE= value.
JAVASCRIPT, JSCRIPT The scripting language is written in JavaScript. VBS, VBSCRIPT The scripting language is written in VBScript. SRC=url Specifies a URL for the associated file. TITLE=text Used to provide advisory information. TYPE=MIME-type Specifies the MIME type for the associated scripting engine. Remarks
Code within the SCRIPT block that are not contained within a function are executed immediately as the page is loaded. To keep scripts from being displayed on down-level browsers, the SCRIPT block should be nested within a comment block.
